She's lifted! 2" BB! Also plasti-dipped the rims! Looks awesome! Ran into trouble with the rear spring retaining post extensions so I left them off, hopefully I'll be ok with out them. I was going to use exhaust pipe to extend it but had sizing issues. Anyone know if I can buy IRO's extensions and put them on WITHOUT removing the spring?

Looks good man! I find it funny, both of our Jeeps looked so similar to begin with, and we've both done similar things to them.

Just for comparision here's mine right when i'd bb-d it.

Sucks about that shock though, you might check the classifieds on here possibly, you might find an extra one somewhere.

Thanks dude! I found that Summit Racing sold single shocks, but only for a 3.5" height. Guess I need to turn to part #s now. Going to give RE a call bout tht tomorrow. Unless I can run a 3.5" shock with a 2" lift?

If you Google the part number I recall one of the well known four wheel drive websites sold them individually.

Called RE to get number, googled around, found that the shock was sold on Amazon for $52 then I activated my free trial of Prime to hopefully get it here faster. Now to install the shock and remember to de-activate Prime!

Anyone know why it blew out so fast? Its the weirdest thing to me...There is and tan-ish oil coming out, it makes a squish sound, but when you "bounce" it, it acts normal, and drives fine.

Replaced the rear main seal and oil pan gasket along with replaced the faulty shock. Now facing a intermediate no crank no start problem. Its probably a bad ground somewhere, hopefully. Otherwise college sucked my money. Now I have to save, spend less on the Jeep (like that's possible). Looking at transferring to a technical college to take electrician courses and then start my apprenticeship when I'm done. It's cheaper and more promising. Kissing my Computer Engineer dreams goodbye.

Re-wired my sub woofer amp more efficiently today. Thinking about when I'm going to get time to fix my tranny leak, how I am going to get money for extended sway bar links, and other things that I would like to do. All in all, its running well! Did a little backyard flexing the other day. Didn't max it out but still had fun with it. Going to play around more when the parents leave on vacation

Put on new quick-disconnect battery terminals today. Also shined up and de-yellowed my head lights! Surprisingly ran into some extra money from selling my iTouch, getting more hours at work, and eating a lot of left overs. Might buy a pair of 100w KC fogs to replace the factory fogs. Decided to leave the sway links until I absolutely need them replaced. Also confirmed my tranny pan leak today, went under with a torque wrench set to 12.5ft-lbs and found that all bolts "clicked" right away. Probably over tightened them the first time. HOPEFULLY a new seal and correct steps will result in no more leaking. Also in the market for new and cheap rims...the PO neglect of mine lead to them leaking Need stock size since my tires are still brand new and I don't want to sell them, loose the warranty, and make my parents mad!

Every kind of battery terminals I buy locally, give out within 3 months.

I bought some brand at advanced auto. They were quick release, and have a colored (epoxy?) coating over them, I also sprayed them with dielectric grease. Hopefully that's not the case with these. I was running the stock ones still and they were TRASHED.

I bought a marine, gold plated one from there, the screw snapped in half as I was tightening it. I've had the red and black top post ones crack. They don't hold up if you disconnect a lot, so maybe you're in the clear with quick disconnects.

*crosses fingers* I don't even disconnect my battery much to begin with I was just getting tired if those dang square bolts!
